Has been a long time since I stopped by to say hello. Suffice to say that, I was never really interested in the original miner wars game (with or without sandbox) and really only provided my support to the team here due to my interest in the MMO.

As Infinity will soon hit kickstarter I came back here to see how the MMO development is progressing. I was surprised to read that, in your blog Marek you detailled how you intended to "completely restart the space building idea". Although you have intentionally been quite vague here, and probbaly wont want to answer questions like "does this mean a whole new engine?" "does this mean X, Y, and Z?" and so on, however I do believe it now poses a fair question to be asked and the statement "Just wait a few months" isnt really fair to people who already bought the MMO based on a promise from KSW.

Where does project X and this idea of "restarting" sit with the plan of developing the MMO after MW2081's release? As someone who already owns a full copy of the MMO, as I Pre-ordered it a very long time ago, also bought the mw2081 game, contributed with real money donations and also at one point had the highest amount of referral sales, there are some of us out there who supported the development of MW2081 just to see the MMO eventually come to life afterwards (in some cases purely JUST to see the MMO come to life, again with some of us out there technically already owning a copy of the MMO)

Does this statement mean that, Project S will now be prioritised in front of the MMO? And if thats the case, can you still rightfully hold payments from people that have pre-ordered when you're not actually developing the game? (if that should be the case?)

I for one, totally understand why sandbox mode was dropped. It has no place in a single player, or multiplayer arena style PvP game, "sandbox mode" in my eyes really should BE the MMO anyway.

I congratulate KSW on the release of MW2081 and the fact they likely at least broke even on their first ever development which is more than a lot of other game companies can say for themselves, from small indie games like Global Agenda to powerhouses like SWTOR which couldnt even make back their initial investments...well done Marek & team.

Looking forward to some PR spin from the new guy, but i'll keep pushing for an answer :)

First of all let us thank for all the kind things that you have mentioned about us and all the support that you have shown until now. It is always nice to receive comments from people who have been following us for so long.

Now, regarding your questions, please forgive us, but for the moment we are not able to make any comments or give any information about the MMO or any other future project that might be on our plans. The reason is simply that we have been burned from such comments in the past and we would not like to make the same mistakes again.

What we can say though for now, is that the team is working on this new project which involves gameplay enhancements in the VRAGE Engine and we are actually planning to make some announcements in the near future regarding this. We are implementing some very important changes and improvements which they will help us on the development of our future projects and, we are hoping, that the final results will be very positively surprising for everyone.

If you are really eager for an answer regarding the MMO, we can tell you that yes, it is still on our plans. It was never off and it has always been our major desire during all these years. But please let us not say anything more about this now for the reasons that we have explained above. I hope you can understand us.

Thank you once again for your support and hope to listen from you more often.

how can you get burned from a yes we are doing what you paid for or no we are not

the statement it self: 'it's still in our plans' says enough anyway

for if you were doing the mmo there would be no reason to side step the answer and a simple yes would do, so there for you are NOT doing the MMO even though you took peoples money on the premice, on the premice of a sand box mode and on the premice of the MMO neither of these things you have done, isn't that like some sort of fraud? lying to people to get there money?

I bought a vacuum once they stated it could also be reversed took it home opened the box and it was a blower..When i called to complain they told me that they decided to go a different way even though i paid for a vacuumbut hey it blows..

here's another point, i think you handed out the code to 1: get more money of a game full of promises to fund something else even though this game is from what i have learned 'still in beta' (or should be)2: you gave out your code in hope that someone else will do what you can't be bothered doing and that is fixing bugs in this game, while you turn your back on it and play with something that you have not got bored with.

I am pretty sure that when the time comes alot of people will ignore your new game if miner wars is anything to go by, they wont beleive your statements as you've already burnt your bridges here with lies to many people
